Note. The sample includes BREATH and URBAN-ARCH-Uganda study participants who reported sexual activity in the past 3 months, at any study visit. Alcohol use at the MRSE, unhealthy alcohol use, and months since HIV diagnosis are data from at the earliest visit with a MRSE. The remaining descriptive data are from the baseline study visit. MRSE = most recent sexual event; AUDIT-C = alcohol use disorders identification test-consumption; PEth = phosphatidylethanol; Unhealthy alcohol use = AUDIT-C + or PEth ≥ 50 in the 3 months prior to the study visit. X2 = X2 or Kruskal-Wallis X2.
